Middle School German Activities

My favourite game to practice German verb conjugations (schwache, starke, trennbare, reflexive, Misch-, Modalverben, Verben auf -eln und -ern**.** It can be used in any tense. No prep, just PRINT AND GO.

This is my go-to game when I need to drill some grammar into my students. It's by far the most efficient grammar game. I love it because it's so easy to use. And my students love it because it doesn't feel like learning when, in fact, they do a TON of learning. We can easily spend the whole lesson playing battleship and they want to keep on playing even after the bell rings.

It's also a great activity for substitute lessons or when I'm in a time press and don't have much time to prepare for a lesson.

How to play:

• It can be played in pairs or in small teams
• Hide your ships in the left field. They mustn't touch.
• Form sentences in order to "hit" the enemy ships in the right field.
• If your enemy hits your ship, indicate that in the left field. If you hit your enemy's ship, mark it down in the right field. If you miss, mark it down as well. If you hit your enemy's ship, have another go.
• To win, sink all of your enemy's ships before he sinks yours.

Contains:

• detailed instructions + picture instructions
• 9 battleship sheets, each covering different grammar
• each sheet contains simplified instructions

The 9 sheets focus on:

1. schwache Verben - weak verbs
2. starke Verben - strong verbs
3. Verben auf -eln und -ern - verbs ending in -eln and -ern
4. trennbare Verben - separable verbs
5. reflexive Verben mit Akkusativ - reflexive verbs accusative
6. reflexive Verben mit Dativ - reflexive verbs dativ
7. Modalverben + wissen - modal verbs and the verb wissen
8. Mischverben - mixed verbs
9. and as a BONUS ein und kein im Akkusativ - ein and kein in accusative

From 2 to 10 players. Make two or more teams, the team with the youngest player starts the game.

Draw a card and without looking at it, show it to other members of your team. If possible, place it on his forehead with an adhesive.

The other members of the team answer only by "YES", "NO" or "SOMETIMES" or another word that can guide his or her teammates. No gestures or noises are allowed.

"Is it an animal"? Yes

“Does this animal live in water”? No

“Does it eat meat”? Yes

The team scores a point if the word is guessed. The team that reaches 10, 15 or 20 points has won !!
